Shahrukh Khan to romance Pakistani actress Mahira in ‘Raees’

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani has confirmed that Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who impressed Indian audiences with her work in popular Pakistani TV show “Humsafar”, will be Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s leading lady in “Raees”.

Sidhwani took to social networking site Twitter to share the news and wrote: “Our leading lady in #Raees @themahirakhan @iamsrk @rahuldholakia @FarOutAkhtar,” Sidhwani posted on Twitter Tuesday.

Earlier, it was being said that Sonam Kapoor would play the female protagonist. However, now all rumours have been put to rest.

To be directed by Rahul Dholakia and co-produced by Farhan Akhtar, “Raees” will see Mahira as Shah Rukh’s wife.

  • I can’t understand some of the people who comment on @indicine, coz I have seen so many of them saying baby, fan, reas and pk are great films while others are saying Tevar, sing is bling will be crap films.realy are they fortune tellers? just bcoz the director of the film has some good films or bad films doesn’t mean his next will be great or bad.I rember during the time of ce and ouatimd so many people saying ce will be bad coz rohit had a habit of making illogical films, and others saying m. luthuria is agreat director and ouatimd will be classic. guess how things turn out.please wait for films to release before declaring them to be either classic or craps. at least pk ,baby and trailers have released but to talk about sib, fan and reas is very premature.

  • Wow. Raees would seriously be humongous. I am talking about the script and acting. Really my anticipation has been doubled. Hope it turns out to be epic as far as movie making goes.

  • It is surprising that Indicine is posting hardly any articles on PK with just 3 days to go! 2 dialogue promos and Nanga Punga song were all mixed in 1 post. 3rd one wasn’t even posted.

    Why? When Happy New year released each and every detail about it was being published separately! I respect Indicine for being unbiased but sometimes it marginally tilts towards SRK, which is the case with most of the media.

  • @bhai chatri ka fan. Movie with daisy shah was what.??? Blockbuster rofl. Lol. It was average or below average.
    Budget 110 CRORES and net is also 110 CRORES. That’s WY u are called as double standard nut head.
    RNBDJ a disaster. ??? Seriously u are out of Ur minds u crapo bhojpuri guy. Get well soon. See u later
    @i am vast nonsense. And u should also add that those people lallu gives breaks often become disasters later. But on the other hand those actresses king gives breaks become super heroines later.

  • @na vining. Crying baby . I too thought rekha should have played SALMANs daughter in next. Guess the world audience would come out in numbers. And lallu would break the overseas Jinx mate. Shaiks Yaar. So sad

  • Again this oldie will romance a young beauty who will look like his granddaughter. Lol. Lets see what he can do without deepika, Katrina, Kareena, priyanka nd Kajol. Since 2010 he has only worked with big heroines, now his real so called star power will come out in front of everyone.

  • ZEBA BAKHTIYAR

    SALMA AAGHA

    Both of them have gotten lead roles in major production houses releases in HENNA and NIKAAH.

    Did they become next VIDYA BALANA or KARINA KAPOOR. no.

    MAHIRA KHAN will soon learn TV drama acting is much much different from Silver Screen acting. TV dramas are writers medium and do not require persona, screen presence and timings like 2.30 – 3:00 hours movies where actors much deliver and carry story forward and fill the holes left due to weak story, screenplay.

    Even if RAEES collects 200 crores, whoever this mahira is will never last in Bollywood for long.

  • I heard, in raees 2 item songs, one of sunny leone and another one farah khan. Thank god now this movie attains atleast HIT status. Anyway i think good story not like hny.

  • @Iamvastuniverse Salman khan name is enough for craze????…..HAHAHAHAHAHA…JOKE OF THE MILKLENIUM…….could you explai n us the box office status of criminal lallu from 2000 to 2010????…..count down the no of disasters also….. that time the craze was not there????….what about lallu bhai’s recent flop movie “FLOP HO”..OOPS …”jAI hO”???……..better don’t post jokes here

  • @Navin bhojpuri Buddha
    don’t worry we will tell our Bhaijan To cast rekha in his next movie :P
    @IamTheWorstUniverse
    why 100 Cr? say na it will not even cross 10 cr
    Bhaijans name is enough?
    Well please tell our Bhaijan to make one offbeat movie and release on Non holiday it will be too much fun :D
    just Explain me Why finding fanny couldn’t even Cross 50 cr?
    no wonder we Bhaijan fans have single digit IQ
    Raees Will not cross 100 cr Lol
    Tell me more jokes

  • Mahira Khan is an fine actress. One should watch Humsafar to see her talent. All the best for Bollywood debut !!!!!!!

  • Wheres @kingshuk who declared Kriti Sannon as female lead for Raees ? He even gave me the reference of Srk tweets. This proves two things Either he is hallucinating Srk tweets (which are not facts) or Srk is tweeting misleading stuff for his fan. My benefit of doubt goes to Srk !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mahira looks like perfect muslim girl. SRK has the record of making blockbuster with new heroines. Raees sounds very exciting. SRK will come in a new avatar. The film will show its quality & quantity at box office.

  • ” P.K?. ?is a completely out of the box film. It’s a must watch with a strong message. It’s Aamir Khan’s best performance and best film I have ever seen. ‘Film bahot hi superb hai. I have promised to Aamir that I wouldn’t reveal much about the film but it’s Aamir’s best film’ ”
    -Sachin Tendulkar after special screening of P.K.

    oh man.sallu is nothing with out biggest holiday+masala genre.with out that his power is exactly like independence day release jai ho is a big flop,lol.but look at our KING KHAN ,HIS February tease MNIK is HIT in domestic and collected 200CR WW with out releasing even in independence day for the reason why even jai ho crossed 100cr so hardly.really even akshay Kumar is bigger star than salman because before 2010,salman’s own fan didn’t watched his leading movies with out any multistarrer in theatres.that’s why sallu is bollywood’s 2nd most flopbuster actor.before giving 5remake bb ,he gave 10 flopbusters in a row.and now struggled to give even 6 hits in a row who is so called superstar ,lol.lol on him and lol on his idiot fans.
